On December 4th, Beijing time, the official media of Rocket released the latest training photos and videos. In the three official photos, there is no Harden, namely Cousins, Gordon and Wood. Mark Stein revealed that Harden is not in Houston at present, and the new coach silas said: "When everything is ready, Harden will appear here." The first training session of the team is scheduled for Sunday local time (next Monday Beijing time).
Cousins looks in a good mood in a velvet hat with a rocket logo and a rocket training T-shirt. Gordon is running, and his goal in the new season is to find the best sixth man again. Wood is practicing shooting, and the Rockets' style of play may change greatly in the new season. He and Cousins are even expected to appear at the same time.
When the official rocket released these photos, it also wrote: "Back to work." In eight days, they will have their first preseason game with the Bulls, and the new lineup of the Rockets will be tested.
In addition to these three photos, the official account of the rocket also showed a video. In the video, Cousins is running and projecting. Before, his agent said Cousins might miss some games at the beginning of the season, but he himself said that he had completely recovered. Whether he can play in the preseason is still unknown. In addition to Cousins, Gordon and Wood, there are also figures of Green and House in the video. The 34-year-old Gerald Green signed a one-year basic salary contract with the Rockets. He frequently showed dunks in training and looked quite excited.
Harden and Wall, who have attracted the most attention, have not yet appeared. At present, the league only restricts players to carry out individual training. I believe that Harden and Wall will join the team in the next period of team training, and they will adapt their tactics and play.
Previously, Wall and Harden had played a training match together in the offseason, and they had a deep personal relationship. However, the specific chemical reaction on the field still needs to be tested in the game. When it comes to the partnership between Harden and Wall, the new coach of the Rockets, Silas, said that he was not worried that they were not compatible at all, and he also said that he believed that Harden would go all out in the new season.
